Highlights
Pet care experience
A lover for pets
I have over 7 years of experience caring for pets through personal ownership and professional platforms like Wag and Rover. My experience includes caring for my own pets, family pets, and clients’ dogs and cats, giving me a well-rounded understanding of different temperaments, routines, and needs. I offer dog walking (primarily within Yonkers), boarding, house sitting, and doggy daycare. I am very attentive to each pet’s needs and make it a priority to ensure they are safe, comfortable, well-fed, and happy while in my care. I’m also patient and calm with animals, which helps build trust—especially with pets that may be shy, energetic, or need extra attention. Reliability and trust are very important to me. I respect every client’s home and follow instructions carefully to maintain consistency for each pet’s routine. I also work with both scheduled and last-minute bookings whenever possible, and I’m flexible depending on availability, as I regularly care for clients both on and off the Rover platform. My goal is always to provide dependable, loving care so pet owners feel confident knowing their pets are in good hands. • Skilled in feeding, walking, playtime, and administering basic medications. • Comfortable handling pets with different temperaments, including high-energy, shy, or anxious pets. • Experience with overnight stays, drop-in visits, and extended boarding. • Strong focus on safety, reliability, and creating a comfortable environment for pets while owners are away.

Maria is very reliable, is always on time, is very patient with my special needs dog, and is so sweet. I would definitely recommend her!
Thank you for watching our new puppy so we could go on our family vacation. She was happy and clean when I picked her up!
Booked short notice and Maria was quick to respond and happily watched Lucky. Puppy came home happy! Thanks!
Professional and accommodating.
Maria is very good to my dogs and was able to watch them Last minute.
I love seeing how excited Armani gets when he sees Maria! It is clear he enjoys being around her and it makes me feel good as a fur baby mom to know that Armani enjoys going to his dog sitter. Definitely recommend!

Schedule
Well, Rover is my current job at the moment so I have flexibility in my schedule. It just depends on the day and probably the month just because I take care of clients off the app. Please let me know if it will be reoccurring or a one time.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets by prioritizing their safety, comfort, and routine at all times, whether in my home or a client’s home. I follow each pet’s specific instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, and any special care needs. In my home, I make sure the environment is clean, pet-friendly, and supervised. I provide a calm and comfortable space where pets can relax, play, and feel at ease. I maintain a consistent routine that helps reduce stress and keeps pets feeling secure. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and follow all guidelines provided. I make sure doors are secured, maintain cleanliness, and ensure the pet is safe before leaving. I also keep communication open with owners and provide updates as needed so they feel confident their pet is being well cared for
A typical day
Take a walk around the neighborhood, look around and see other dogs, also go to dog parks play fetch play tug-of-war or want to socialize with other pets. (Only if they’re friendly with other pets)
